Hi, Terry:
I have been reviewing old interesting posts, and was interested in your post #22, that showed an octagonal, beveled edged mirror, and prop rod, with emblem. Where could those be purchased? Thanks.
Every once in awhile you stumble across empty S&W Presentations Cases at a reasonable price either on eBay or online auctions. I bought one last year for $10.00 off eBay that had been listed as a trinket box. I took it and made it into a clam shell presentation box using Styrofoam, hardening clay and flocking. It is the last picture below.
Thursday evening I won two more on a Proxi-bid auction and paid $45.00 for the completely empty box as shown below. Then I won the box with the red and Styrofoam inserts for $35.00. I had to pay 15% buyer's premium and will have to pay for shipping. Anyway I will do something similar with them as display boxes.
